Thrashers recall C Krog

Krog sent down to AHL

Krog can't find NHL success

(11/3/08)The Sports Xchange reports figuring out why Canucks forward Jason Krog has struggled to match the prolific offensive numbers in the minor leagues while playing in the NHL isn't hard. The skilled-but-small forward has 362 points in 303 games in the American Hockey League, including 192 in just 124 games the last two seasons. In the NHL, however, the 33-year-old has managed just 22 goals and 59 points in 201 career games. The difference is opportunity. In the AHL, Krog racks up big minutes on the top line and power play, allowing him to have seasons like last year, when he was led the AHL in scoring with 112 points and was regular season and playoff MVP for the Chicago Wolves. In the NHL though, he's rarely played among the top-six forwards. "It's just part of your job," Krog said before Sunday's 3-2 loss to Detroit. "It's accepting your role and knowing that you're doing something to benefit the team."
